Next to last paragraph in the American Rifleman article makes reference to it stating "that Springfield already has plans to produce the pistol in "other popular calibers" in the future, according to Williams." Dave Williams is head of Springfield's custom shop in Geneseo, Ill. (Now I did read into the article as 9mm and 40 S&W are the other most popular calibers.). In due time they are coming. They have already completed the hardest work with the .45acp.

Theres no question that the XD-S is special because of its chambering, but those who find its other attributes enough to recommend it will be pleased to know that Springfield already has plans to produce the pistol in other popular calibers in the future, according to Williams.

I've emailed Springfield a few times and there standard response is 2-4 months. I've been waiting for a XDS 9 mm also. I want it for my carry gun. I have a 9mm XD SC now, looking forward to a lighter & smaller carry gun.
